Rating: T for implied character death
Summary: These Ages are waiting, waiting for those who will never return.

EDIT: re-written on 21st dec 09

Myst (c) cyan worlds inc. Thanks to the wonderful video walkthroughs of filardodesigns on youtube, which meant Ididnt have to dig out my old copies of the games (not to mention my desktop which is the only computer I own which will play them) to remind myself of Selenitic and Channelwood.

1000 words exact - each paragraph is 100 words!


( Frozen in Time )
guess the Ages mentioned if you're bored enough. If not, they're in WHITE (highlight to read) beside each number.

Sorrow

for the tamingthemuse prompt #155 - Sorrow (def: a great sadness, esp. associated with loss or bereavement; grief; unhappiness; woe), and for "S" of an A-Z of DeathNote on fanfiction.net. I was thinking about the funeral scene of four weddings and a funeral which always makes me want to cry, but it could be quite a lot of films.

DeathNote (c) Tsugumi Ohba

 

( Sorrow - In which Misa explains the concept of bereavement to Ryuk )

 

R is for Reaper

Fandom: DeathNote
Prompt: #135 -nihilism and Feb challenge (tamingthemuse ) and "R" of A-to-Z of DeathNote (fanfiction.net)
Warnings: G, no spoilers, minor characters.

AN: Nihilism is the view of no real existence. What's less real than a shinigami? thus this was born. I didnt intend it to be over 1000 words, nor in present tense, but it developed that way, so... february challenge too!

( In which the shinigami's find their amusement from an unexpected source. )

Delectare ~ French. lit. "to please".
a.k.a That Butler, So Pleasing  *winkwink*

Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Prompt: #134 Delectable  (tamingthemuse</lj> )- 1) highly pleasing, enjoyable. 2) delicious, appetising
Warnings: G rated, no spoilers.

( In which Sebastian makes cake and thinks about his own sweet-tooth )

A/N: dictionary.com suggests heavenly as a synonym for delectable. Ciel also means heavenly. Thus this was born. The cake is Black Forest Gateau; recipe (in italics) is curtousy of TheTimes:Food supplement. Actually BFG wasnt invented until 1915, 14 years after Queen Victoria's death, so Sebastian wouldnt have heard of this, (unless he's a time traveller as well as a demon) but... mmm, cake.
